Dumas at Home.

Alexandra Dumas lives in a snug
mansion in the Avenue de Villiers, sur
rounded by his children and grand
children. Contrary to what might be
thought from the nature of his dramas,
he is essentially a family man. He re-
ceiyes largely. He is particularly kind
to young beginners, whether authors,
actors, or painters, who rarely appeal
to him in vain either for advice or as
sistance. He scorns politics, and is
very independent. Under the second
empire the Due de Persigny once asked
him to write cantata for the opera in
honor of the Emperor's fete day. He
replied that it was not for him to open
his mouth while such great poets as
Hugo and Lamartine declined to sing.
M. Dumas still signs himself fills, out
of veneration for his father Chicago
Herald.

ANCIENT VILLAGES.
Some
Some Interesting Discoveries Recently
Made In Arizona Territory.

some interesting D1ScOverteS Recently
Made In Arizona Territory.
Mr.. Stevenson's researches this season
resulted in the discovery of several an
cient villages, one of which is located
on the Little Colorado. This village
extends over an area of three miles
Many of the houses stand two and three
stories high, built of square, flat stones
laid in mortar Several of the larger
buildings, forming one group, are stu
ated along the banks of a. small canyon.
This canyon presented many evidences
of the handiwork of the aborigines who
inhabited the dwellings along its banks.
In the walls of this canyon are many
small inches and cavities which had
been walled up, leaving only a small
aperture through which to place small
articles. The plaster, some of which
the party dug out, still retains the
finger-marks and impressions of the
masons who built them. These little
bins must have been for the purpose of
storing wild seeds and grain, for such
were all they contained. Agriculture,
III tilo Stlloc DIS llOW uHu6ISbOOu, WAS
unknown to these people. The domes-
tication of animals was also unknown
to them. Away from this group of
dwellings, up the canyon for several
miles, were found houses and corrals of
various shapes and sizes. Surrounding
this village is series of volcanic hills
or knobs from fifty to three hundred
feet in height On the summit of each
was found either round or octagonal-
shaped tower, or fertilization. This was
evidently the object, from the fact that
only one entrance was found to any of
them, and they were in all cases fur
nished with portfolios about breast
high, and were seldom so constructed
inside as to indicate permanent dwell
ings. 1t was quite impossible to con-
lecture the age of this village, and none
of the Indians now inhabiting that coun-
try could enlighten the explorers on the
subject. They only refer to them as
the homes of the ancients. Washington

FLOSS.
1t will be noticed that for the first five
years cars made good mileage and will
average 9 per cent profit on the invest
ment; but during the next five years the
mileage decreases, repairs increase, and
the net profit is reduced to an average
of 1-6 per cent. This suggests that for
the first five years of cars life it is a
good investment, but after that it is not
profitable to run them as an investment.
For the five years car will net per
cent. on the investment, or about half
pay for itself in mileage. After that it
is almost nip and tuck" between mile
age and repairs for the next five years.
The life of a car depends altogether
upon how long road is willing to
patch it up with repairs. believe we
have an occasional car now in service
which was built twenty years ago, but
apprehend that very little of the
original cars remain, and that it has
been more expensive to keep them up
than it would have been to have de-
stroyed them and used the old iron in
the construction of new cars. These
figures prove, think, that mileage at
the rate of three-fourths of cent per
mile is not excessive, and results only
in a fair profit on the investment.-E.

Z. The mind cure is something that /

which know even less than do about
this. The mind cure is a kind of scheme
by which one mind, through its power
over another, banishes disease from the
physical being. once employed tall,
thoughtful man to come and treat me
on this plan. He came several days,
and the results were not very satisfac-
tory. One day it flashed over him that
he had forgotten both days to bring his
instrument with him. The following
day he came in with his mind done up
in a shawl strap. He began to work on
me, but did not succeed. Then he rose,
buckled up his shawl strap and started
to go. 1 asked him what the bill was,
but he said nothing.
1.-THE principle" said he, sis this:
One mind, by its control over another,
works the cure. So it is necessary not
only that l have mind that can APP
ply, but you should also at least have
scar or something to show where your
mind used to be. You should have
been fair and square with me and told
me in the first place that you were desti-
tute of any thing of that kind. That
was the way to treat a fellow-man who
had never harmed you in any way"
He then strobe out of my apartments.

RAILROAD CARS.
The Life and Profits OF the Average Latter
Day Freight Vehicle.

This Is very important subject, and
one which has been somewhat neglected.
When we consider the cost of equipping
a road with cars, the expense to keep
them in repairs, and mileage earned,
we at once have three very important
subjects which involve an enormous
amount of capital. An investigation of
the subject can not fail to be interest
ing. and we will find some important
suggestions presented during our ex-
animation. Taking the value of car
as basis, its mileage as revenue or
profit and the repairs as expense, we
are sometimes astonished at the vast
ness of the interests intrusted to our
care. A car will cost on an average,
$500. A road owning 1000 will have
invested 100000; road operating
10000 will expend $1,000, 900 in equip
ping itself. etc. During, 1882 our
management required me to keep an
individual mileage record of each
car. AS we were then in the
South interchanging daily reports
of movements and mileage, l was
able to compile my tables from accurate
figures and not estimates. A road, as
we before mentioned, secures its cars
at an immense expense. These cars
are then turned loose on the country
and are expected to earn reasonable in
terest on the Investment. We see at a
glance what an important department
in railroads this is The question then
is, what is the revenue and expense in
volved, and what profit to railroad is
carp This, of course, depends upon
the age and condition of the car. Below
l present table showing the average
mileage made by our cars of various
ages, also repairs done, thus giving the
average revenue, expense, and net loss
or profit Cor original cost by cars of
various ages:

BOHEMlA'S CAPITAL.
A City Which Recalls the Peculiarities q
the Orient.


A general view of Prague gives an
impression decidedly oriental. Some Of
it's church towers seem like the minar-
cts of mosque. Others have Byzan-
tine look. In no other city of Europe
are massive buildings large enough to
be called palaces more numerous. One
of the old palaces near the station
where you arrive in coming from Dres-
den has been transformed into pow
der magazine. The old palace of the
Kings of Bohemia close by is now a
'barrack. In the old portions of the
city, on the right bank, there is
still some of the strong aspect of
the Hradschin, but commerce is grad
uaSy softening it. New streets are
being made that are filled with hand
some shops. Broader thoroughfares
are being set with trees, and there are
some well-kept parks and public gar
dens. The public buildings, aside from
the palaces, are not remarkable for
beauty, though there are exceptions.
The city hall, which in the German
speaking countries of Europe is called
the Rathouse CRathaus) is curious archi-
tecturally, and remarkable for its astro-
nomical clock, which excites the atten-
ton of every tourist 1t is full curri-
